ISMS – Information Security Management System 
Information is a powerful resource that, in the wrong hands, can lead organizations to bankruptcy, change valuations, arrange tenders and even influence human behavior. These are just some of the reasons why large companies and public institutions that collect and process huge amounts of sensitive data bear the burden of responsibility. As security experts, we understand this burden, so we will help you prepare for every eventuality and protect them against theft, accidental leakage or loss. The tool that best fulfills this role is the Information Security Management System.
It is a set of procedures, guidelines, specific tools, measures and roles that enable effective protection of information in the organization.
A well-prepared Information Security Management System takes into account:
The whole thing should not only be tested and updated on an ongoing basis but above all – improved.
Public organizations
Since 2012, public institutions have been obliged to build an information security system in such a way as to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing citizens’ data.
However, practice shows that many of them do not have the appropriate resources and competencies to properly adapt to legal requirements, not even taking into account their own initiative. Policies are created ad hoc, and the documentation itself is full of gaps, simplified and is only verified during an audit.
Private companies
The situation is similar in the private sector. Organizations most often do not pay much attention to adequate preparation for incidents until they occur.
Ultimately, it often turns out that despite the resource-intensive process of creating a security policy, it involves fewer resources than required to recover data or pay penalties or compensation.

Administrators in public entities consider ISMS to be an unpleasant obligation, and private companies point out that the process of creating the system is time-consuming and complicated. However, it is worth considering universal benefits that go beyond basic security measures.
We comprehensively protect our clients' systems, which is why we want the ISMS not to be just empty documentation, necessary only for the duration of an audit. We pay great attention to testing, system monitoring and, above all, education.
The implementation process of the Information Security Management System is carried out in six stages:
Diagnosis
We identify potential threats, determine critical areas, and determine the type and method of storing protected information.
Cele
We define the objectives of the ISMS implementation, taking into account the type of organization and the direction of its development
Guidelines
We develop specific safety rules and standards that reflect the company’s goals and needs
Procedures
We develop processes for dealing with various scenarios, such as incidents, access controls and password management
Consultations
We involve stakeholders such as CISOs, security engineers, managers and the legal department. We make sure that the entire project is consistent with the assumptions and that decision-makers understand their roles and support the implementation.
Implementation
We make sure that the policy is available and understandable to all employees, and then we provide the necessary training.
A security system is only as effective as its weakest links, so it is especially important to take care of:
The international standard ISO 27001 sets the standards for modern security systems. It covers the entire ISMS cycle, from implementation, through operation, to further development. Strict guidelines create tools that make risk assessment easier, guide the creation of policies and define ways of managing information. Following good practices not only guarantees safety, but also creates the opportunity to obtain a world-famous certificate that will help gain the trust of contractors.
We design protection systems at all stages, which is why we know perfectly well the threats lurking in the modern world and how to avoid them. In line with best practices at Grandmetric, we prepare organizations for auditing, obtaining a certificate or recertification, and the solutions we implement meet all ISO 27001 standards.
